Edgefield Advertiser
THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1892.
Of the few persons present at the
anti-convention there was only one
who had horns inside of his hands.
Why was the anti-convention last
Saturday like angels' visits?
Because they were few, and their
haciendas far between.
The failure of the Anti-convention
to materialize caused a good many
fence-riders to flop over on Tillman's
side. From our office window Satur
day afternoon we heard three strike
the grit. - .
Governor Tillman is an otT-hand
speaker-no orator as Brutus ls-but if
Brutus follows Ben through the briar
patches and over the gullies of the
Piedmont escarpment to the sand beds
and marshes of Coosaw and Goose
Creek he will wish he hadn'i done it.
For the failure of the anti-conven
tion on last Saturday no blame should
attack to the Edgefleld Chronicle,
Monitor, or any of the geutlemen who
inaugurated the scheme. They did
their best, and made every effort to
make the thing a success. It failed
because their indictment of Ben Till
man awakened no response in the
hearts of us horny handed sons of
Adam.
THAT MTTLE C??WD.
Pursuant. tp proclamation in the
Edgefleld Chronicle and the Edgefleld
.Monitor, the opponents in Edgefleld
c?iintv of Governor Tillman and the
administration met in our court house
at 12 o'clock sharp oh Saturday last to
elect delegates to thc March Conven
tion of the "antis" and to devise ways
and means to compass the defeat of
Governor Tillman for renomination.
Capt. James Callison, the Duke of
Shatt?rflcld. was made chairman.
Governor Sheppard, who was pres
ent, was invited to address the meet
ing.
The Governor didn't say much, but
what he did say was to the point; he
said : "Fellow citizens, I have seen a
bigger crowd than this, a larger gath
ering, a more numerous assemblage."
This was not all the Governor said,
but we've got the cream, for the state
ment that he "had seen a bigger crowd
than this" was an admission that the
convention and t lie anti-Til 1 man move
ment in Edgefleld county was in the
nine hole most emphatically. There
were enough present, however, to get
a delegation to the March Convention,
eminently respectable and patriotic,
but misguided gentlemen who have
gone into the soup head over heels.
Their names are as follows :

It is clear to any man disposed to

[ With such lugubrious forebodings
harrowing his soul it is a wonder that
our contemporary doesn't say some
thing, or do something to prevent the
dire calamities he predicts, follow the
advice for instance, of his fellow
townsman, Gen. J. H. Earle.

Let this be the supreme effort of our

To build much of a town-and that
is the kind we want-we must get out

To capture the eye and convince the

ALL ABOUT COUNTY COM
MISSIONERS.
. In 1890 the people of South Carolina
voted an amendment to the State Con
stitution which abolished the office of
county commisioner, but the statute
law in reference to that office remains
unrepealed, ant' the best lawyers of the
! State are in a dilemma as to whether
there can be a legal election for county
commissioners this year, or whether
the present boards will hold over un
der that omnibus clause of the Consti
tution or statutes or something else,
which provides that "all officers shall
hold over until their successors are
qualified."
To run-over, or to hold over, that is
the question.
It is safer, all things considered, to
run over, beloved, for if you run over
and are elected you'll be there, even
though it should transpire that you
would have held over if you hand'nt
run over. But if you don't run over
and don't hold over, where will you be?
